Why Star Wars Should Be on Regular TV More Often

Believe it or not, some people have never seen Star Wars.

I take it for granted that everyone's seen Star Wars, but the fact is, some people haven't seen it, and there's a good reason. It's rarely on TV, and they may not be the kind of people who invest in buying DVDs or BluRay Discs, especially for movies they've never seen before.

Think about it. If you didn't see the original when it was in theaters in 1977, there were very few chances to see it unless you were willing to purchase a copy.

Since some people rarely purchase movies, that means they probably haven't seen it. That's a shame.

Unfortunately, now that Disney owns the Star Wars franchise, the chances of seeing it on regular TV are even smaller, because Disney has a history of holding back when it comes to their best films. In fact, some of their biggest titles are rarely shown regular TV, and they tend to only sell them for limited times, before sending them back to "The Disney Vault".

It seems that Disney's answer is to only air original content from the Star Wars Expanded Universe (SWEU), such as animated shows like Star Wars: Clone Wars, but that falls short of bringing in new fans to the franchise.
